I follow all the instructions below To use pattern-based step recording 1. Click the Record button and keep the button pressed for a bried moment until the pop-up menu appears, then choose Step Record. The Record button changes to . 2. Click the Step Record button to open the Step Record dialog box. 3. Set the insertion point where you want to start recording. 4. Click in the Pattern field. All works fine up to here. I put the cursor in the pattern field and press 1 on top row of keys screenset 1 comes up as it would in most normal conditions. When I press the number 1 on the keypad, no number is entered into the field. Behaves like this with num lock on and off. Thanks. Paul

It appears to date approximately 54 people have viewed this thread but no responses. Can any of the Cakewalk gurus figure this one out? Thanks. Paul

Does the 1 key work? (the one above the Q key) This is a user supported forum. If you want to talk to Cakewalk, call the Technical Support phone number. 

I reported it using the problem reporter web form a long while back. Just in the last couple of days I got a response back that said they reproduced the problem and now it is "submitted to development".

Thanks to all that responded. Good to know I am not the only one with the issue. Looking forward to a fix from development.
